WAG54GS CD and MAC Filtering

Hello,
1) Where can I obtain a Install CD for my WAG54GS Router?
2) I have had the WAG54GS in use for some years now, and more and more computers and devices are to the router.
Recently my Printer (HP 6500) often tells me that it cannot obtain an IP address but it does t "see" the SSID Router name.)
Error roughly translates (German) to
Your Router uses MAC Filtering. So a Connection the HP Printer may fail.
I must either deactivate the MAC filer or add the Printer MAC Address to the allowed list.
I am unsure how to do this.
Any help on both of these comments.??????
NT

OK, thank you.
I keep losing IP addresses now fron my PC's as well a my printer. Usually a router re-boot helps.
The thing I did not like about this WAG54GS is that there is no power fail re-start.
Have you any idea why losing the IP address occurs. Note that the SSID is being recogonised and with a healthy
signal level.
However
A am sending on Channel 1 but there is a TP-LINK 504132 Router in my neighbourhood that is on channel 1
(2,412 GHz) and is sending 802.11n and seems to be tranmitting a much higher speed than me.
I wonder if this could be causing problems.

AP1242AG WPA and MAC Filtering problem

Hello,
Presently I managed some AP1242AG in ofiice area
I need implement WPA and MAC filtering.
I found what :
In IOS 12.2(13)JA branch IOS and before, MAC authentication was supported
in conjunction with WPA.
In 12.2(15)JA and above, configuring MAC authentication with WPA does not
work. MAC Authentication passes everyone through.
I can't found IOS 12.2(13) in Cisco site.
Can anybody help me and give link to download 12.2(13)JA ?
Thanks.

Also when I acivete MAC filterring
access-list 700 deny   0024.d7ed.2204   0000.0000.0000

E1200 - Ports not working and mac filtering problem

If there was a way to give negative stars to this router, I would. As it is, the minimum rating I can give this product is one star, and that's one star too many.
I was upgrading from the WRT54G, which is an ugly thing to look at, but a reliable workhorse nonetheless. I turned that in to a downstream switch in my comms hub.
On the E1200, I flashed the latest firmware, used different Cat5 cables, and different laptops before committing to hating this product.
The first time I reached out to Amazon, the Amazon rep gave me a Cisco number to call. Turns out, that's some shady mortgage refinance hotline. Try it for yourself! 1-800-666-1771.
Now, the rant -
1. Two out of four wired LAN ports don't work: What can be the fix for this?! The activity lights on ports 3 and 4 blink and suggest data transfer is taking place, but the wired laptop simply can't acquire an IP address and access the internet. Same result when I connect my Panasonic Blu-Ray player to ports 3 and 4. None of the Viera Cast features load.
2. MAC filtering unreliable: The wireless routing works somewhat reliably, if and only if, one settles for the most basic security. If I only choose a password and WPA2 protocol, things work fine. If I add another layer of security (in my case, enabling MAC filtering and only PERMITTING gateway to listed MAC IDs), things break down. As soon as I disable MAC filtering, wireless access to authenticated clients is restored.
3. Cisco customer service: The censored world we live in, compels me to criticize politely. TERRIBLE. Cisco website is unintuitive, and frustrating. There's no easy way to register your purchased product. The Cisco "registration" is intentionally misleading and deceptive. For all intents and purposes, it's just an information gathering tool for Cisco. Don't bother registering there, unless you love the idea of storing your personal information on their servers. Their phone-based customer service is apathetic and uninterested. My rep was so distrusting of my intelligence and motor control, that he simply wouldn't believe that I had selected "PERMIT" and not "PREVENT" as the option under MAC filtering. After he asked me the same question for the fourth time, I raised my voice, and he gave up the idea of checking for the fifth time.
However, this review is a tale of two companies. I reached out to Amazon again. This time, I got a rockstar in the shape of Leanne C! She was incredibly helpful, and understanding. What's more, she set up my return without any hassle and this Cisco dud is on its way back. I'm a big fan of Leanne's and my confidence in Amazon is restored.
I'm sure that i received a lemon. I've never had problems with Linksys products. Maybe others' experience is different from mine.

In your case as port numbers 1 and 2 does not work, what you could have done a loop back test. To perform a loop back test you need to take an ethernet cable, connect one end of that cable to internet port and the other end to the non-working port on the router. If you get the led to glow on both internet and the respective ethernet port that indicates that the port is working fine.
It could also be a sychronization issue between the above mentioned lan ports and the lan card of your computer. As a part of trouble shooting you can try to reduce the card speed of your lan card. Following are the steps to reduce the speed of your lan card.
START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
right-click on the device manager and click properties
Click on the CONFIGURE button
Select the ADVANCED tab and in the box under the header property select "speed and duplex" and change the value on the right to 10 mbps half duplex. A restart would be recommended after performing these steps.
In the second half you said that after enabling the mac filter option the internet breaks down. Here, do you mean to say that the computer
gets disconnected from the wireless network or it stays connected with a valid IP address but without an internet connection.
Well, it is an unusual issue however you could have reset and reconfigure the router as you got the latest firmware upgraded on it.
Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.

Mobility groups and MAC filtering

We have a 4402 controller and we are doing MAC filtering. We have reached the default number of MAC addresses, 512. It has been recommended that we add an additional controller instead of increasing this past the default. Three questions:
1. Is there an increased (enough to impact performance) load placed on the WLC if the limit of MACs is increased, say to the max of 2048?
2. If we add an additional controller, configured in a mobility group, how do we configure the MAC filter to load balance? Or do we have to configure the same MAC table on both controllers? Which leads to....
3. Is there a benefit to adding another controller as far as MAC filtering is concerned?

As it stands, you would need to manually replicate internal mac filtering database between two controllers, so you're not gaining much with the second controller. As regards to increasing database size and what effects it will have, I don't have an educated answer for you, sorry.

Mac can't see new printer-told to Disable Airport Extreme Firewall and Mac Filtering...

I have a new Epson WF-3520 AIO printer. I run Mac on OS X 10.5.7. The printer appears to be properly set up to run wirelessly but it doesn't show up as a choice to be added to my list of available printers. My Mac just doesn't see it. After trying many things Epson's tech support told me to call Apple and find out how to disable the Airport Extreme's firewall as well as Mac Filtering. I went into the Airport's utility and just got lost in knowing exactly what steps I need to take to do this. Also, I'm somewhat dubious that this is really what needs to be done in the first place and I'm wondering if he simply wanted to get off the phone.... All advice welcome! Thanks. Stephanie

Forget it.... My suspicion was correct. I was talking to an idiot. Problem resolved by me. Unrelated to Airport.
Forgot to install a piece of software... duh!!!

EA2700 bridging and mac filtering

I have a EA4500 as a main router and a EA2700 router connected to it (wire) in bridging mode.
On the EA4500 I use mac filtering for the wireless connections.
My problem:
If a device connects wireless to the EA2700, the EA4500 see this as a LAN connection and thus the MAC filter is bypassed.
Can this be solved?

You can try this, bridge the 2700 router and use the following LAN-to-LAN configuration to see if the 4500 sees the device correctly:
http://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/cascade_linksys/#LAN_to_LAN
It's possible that the design and detection behavior of the 4500 with the use of a wired 2ndary AP maybe how it's detecting the client devices since it's connected wirelessly to the 2700 however when it goes thru the 2700 to the 4500, it's over a LAN wired connection and thats what the 4500 is seeing.

Guest networking and mac filtering

I have a dual band airport extreme that I've purposfully kept at an old firmware revision because I have mac filtering enabled and also want to have guest network enabled. Somewhere around version 7.5 a bug was introduced that applied the mac filtering to both the private and guest SSID's. I found a number of posts from back then about it, but can anyone tell me if it has since been corrected in the more recent releases?
Thanks
Matt

No. For what it's worth, Apple Support does not call it a "bug". They call it a "feature".

WLC 4402 Web Authentication, Mac Filtering and Layer 2 Seciruty

Hi All,
I have configured web authentication and Mac filtering on WLC 4402 for my wireless network and its working fine. I wants to configure layer 2 security for the same Wireless network without pre shared key. Could you please advice how to configure layer 2 security with web authentication withour preshare key.
Is there any security issue with web authentication and Mac FIltering only? My concern in my wireless network shows open.
Thanks,
Kashif

Hi,
if you have a ACS, then you can do Web auth Splash page!!! Please refer to the below doc!!

WLC Flexconnect with AAA and MAC authentication

hi,
i am having cisco WLC with 7.4.121 version and i am having remote side access points to be connected to this controller and remote access point will have different vlan on the remote side itself.
my question is i am having Radius authentication for the clients who are all connecting from all the access points and MAC filtering also.
My radius server is placed in the HQ where we have WLC. which method of flexconnect switchign will give be both AAA and MAc filter options to be working.
one more question,
is it possible to make each AP seperate MAC filters On the WLC.
thanks
cyril

If you are planning on doing machine authentication i.e authentication of machine with username password by the AAA server at then this is possible using flexconnect local switching enabled provided you have your AAA server accessible via the local VLAN at the remote site.
In case you are planning on doing mac-filtering using WLC and username/password authentication using AAA server then this cannot be achieved when you enable Flexconnect local switching as you do not get an option to configure the mac-filtering on Flex-connect groups.Hence you would need to use central authentication.
Actually the best option for you is that you either deploy a local site AAA server and do both the authentications via your radius server or use Central authentication with Flexconnect APs incase this is not feasible.
Hope this clears you doubts!!!
Note: Please do not forget to rate and accept as solution incase the post is valid.

Compatibility 802.1X and mac-filter from ACS

If the clients identities and mac address are stored in the same ACS server.
In WLC,could a wlan be configured layer2 security with both 802.1x and mac-filtering?
this is really a critical problem for me!
Thanks~

Hi,
I am assuming you are asking if you configure a x mac of wlan client in MAC filer and the same as user naem in 802.1x ACS database as user name , could you configure it ? what is the effect?
If my understading of your queston is correct the answer is
Any wlan client will not be allowed to associate to the network unless a match is seen in mac filter in wlc.
But once that is done it will not able to access network resources unless 802.1x authentication is completed by ACS against the wlan clients user name which is again a mac address of client.
i dont see a value for doing this. except that you will block unnecessary authentication request getting to ACS by filtering it in the 1st instance.
another scenario is if you are using mac filtering also on ACS , it should be preceeded by mac filtering and then ACS authentication , as above as far as ssequence goes hence the same logic applies here.
Thanks

BT Homehub 3 - MAC Filtering

I can't seem to find any MAC filtering options on the router. The only way i can currently block devices is once they have already connected which is inconvenient. I have a list of wireless devices MAC addresses which i want to block, is there any way to do this or shal i ditch the home hub and buy something else?

You must have a lot of people in your house
The only other option is to use a different router, or use a separate wireless access point, and turn the home hub wireless off.
I use a TP-Link WA701ND, which has full MAC control, and even multiple SSIDs, each with their own key and MAC filtering.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

About max local MAC filtering can be register in WLC 2504 and 5508

Hi all
My customer is considering to use WLC with MAC filtering feature (use local database not external Radius). So they are concerning about maximum local MAC filtering entries that can be register on WLC2504 and WLC5508 to buy (the number of APs is about 20, but the MAC is more than 200)
I tried to search, but I could not find any specs mention it. If anyone knows, please help to answer
Rgds

I looked at this before. I want to say its maxed at 2048 regardless of the model ..

Aironet 600 with Mac Filtering and a switch..

How does the Aironet 600 handle Mac Filtering if I were to connect a switch to port 4 on the back ("Secured" network port). Does it authenticate each MAC or does it do somthing similar to how 802.1x with multi-host works, the first mac authenticates and then the port's wide open? My use-case here is a printer at a remote home-office. The printer doesn't have a supplicant in it so I need to use mac filtering. Thanks.

MAC authentication is all I use for my OutStationed workers. No wifi, just the rlan. Since the rlan is configured for DHCP only, no IP gets passed until MAC auth occurs.
When Cisco packaged this up, they said 4 is enough.. IF you use an un-managed (non-cisco) switch.
I had a need for 2 workstations and 2 digiports.. SOP sys a managed switch.. oops. the switch consumed 2 MAC's right off the top.. 1 for itself and 1 for each vlan.
After enablilng 2 rlans, and configuring a pair on different networks, we discovered that they were bridged in the 602 (or somewhere).
We ended up switching out the 602 for an ASA5505

Guest and E4200 - Mac Filtering

I have an e4200 v1. I have figured out that if mac filtering is enabled, the guest feature will only work if the mac adapter of the guest client is added to the list of allowed mac filters.
Doesnt adding a mac filter for guests defeat the whole purpose of the guest account? I find this very annoying. Does somebody know of a way to get this to work?

Don't use the wireless mac filter. It won't provide security anyway. Use WPA2 with AES and a strong passphrase.
